The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 44 Blood Mark of Winter’s Claw
Above the frozen soil of the Northland.

The howling wind blew up the sky and filled the sky with snow, ruthlessly submerging all living things.

Huo Jixing and his party, wearing fur cloaks, walked with difficulty in the snow.

call!
Exhaling a breath of cold air, Huo Jixing wiped away the ice shards all over his face and looked at the silver-white snow around him with a solemn expression.

This is already the ninth day into Freljord.

The frozen soil of the North, which should have been deserted and inaccessible to humans, is now full of people, and battlefields can be seen everywhere covered in blood.

This is a battle between scouts!

At the beginning of Prologue, before the Noxian Empire and Winter's Claw officially launch an all-out war.

Figures wearing armor and regardless of life and death, like a pack of wolves, shuttled across the frozen soil of the North, intertwining crazily.

Overflowing blood, broken armor, and cold corpses.

Silent and pathos embellishments decorate this war between scouts, painted in red and white.

Along the way, Huo Jixing had witnessed six life-and-death fights.

"Life is really worthless on the battlefield!"

Huo Jixing whispered softly, recalling the corpses that fell in the snow and were covered by snowflakes.

He has long since lost his ability to mobilize the fire of Nanli to dispel the biting cold.

Instead, he relied on his strong body to withstand the cold.

Because now, he needs to maintain his best condition to face every life-and-death fight.

Whether it's the Noxus Empire or the Winter's Claw tribe.

Before this war ends, they will continue to send out scouts to engage in crazy battles in this pale world of ice and snow until one side comes to an end.

"This is where we belong!"

Xia Lupa spoke up, a look of determination appeared on his wrinkled face.

"A home?"

Huo Jixing looked at the short but straight Noxian veteran and smiled without refuting.

The scout's duty is to monitor the enemy's situation.

Before the Noxus Empire and the Winter's Claw clash head-on, both sides will definitely seek out information at all costs.

The life of a scout has become a cold number in the merit book.

Huo Jixing lowered his head in silence and continued walking along the mountain road.

As time went by, the wind and snow falling from the sky became heavier and heavier, blocking everyone's view.

Fortunately, with the blessing of [Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils], Huo Jixing's red eyes can easily penetrate the snow curtain and walk on a safe road

At the same time, because of [Suzaku·Red Eyes with Fire Eyes], he led the team many times to avoid large-scale inspections by clan warriors and choose rugged mountain roads to detour.

After walking three or four kilometers, Huo Jixing frowned.

Looking back at the hazy mountains behind him, a flash of red-golden light penetrated his pupils.

"Are you following again?"

There were many clouds rising in the red field of vision, as if they were lingering ghosts, following them.

Even if he goes in the wrong direction a few times, he will quickly catch up again.

Huo Jixing walked slowly while thinking.

He didn't want to fight the clan warriors in such weather, but the clan warriors chasing behind him obviously didn't think so.

It seems that the previous killings along the way attracted the attention of the Winter's Claw tribe warriors.

"Eric!" Huo Jixing spoke in a condensing voice, his deep voice sounding in Eric's ears over the wind and snow.

"Captain of ten!" Eric increased his pace and walked closer.

"You and Sheruba, find an ambush point together."

Huo Jixing turned to the Noxian veteran and nodded, saying, "The tails following behind are too annoying, prepare to deal with them."

Eric's sense of direction is very good and he never misses the direction.

He previously thought that the skill of discerning direction was just Eric's talent.

It is this kind of talent that makes Eric feel at home in the ice and snow world of Freljord.

Watching Xialuba and Eric disappear into the snow, Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to keep up with him.

Since the clan warriors wanted to die so much, why couldn't he help them?

Snowflakes flew, covering the silvery ground, erasing the footprints of the Noxian scouts.Rolling mountains, rugged and winding mountain roads.

A group of clan warriors wearing armor and fur, holding ferocious blades, walked slowly on the fresh snow.

When they reached a corner of the mountain road, the clan warrior at the front suddenly stopped.

Lifting the cloak, a face smeared with blood marks was exposed to the cold air.

He first looked at the corner of the mountain road, then moved his eyes to look at the smooth mountain wall and the piled rocks below.

"Bah!" The clan warrior opened his mouth and spat, saying loudly with a sarcastic expression.

"ambush?"

"Stupid Noxian!"

Compared with the Noxian scouts who rarely set foot on the frozen ice fields, they have lived in this ice and snow world all year round and have extremely rich experience.

Perhaps the trap in front of him can deceive ordinary clan warriors.

But for them, it was too crude and crude.

Taking off the long bow on his back, the clan warrior smeared with blood marks looked towards the mountain wall.

Open your bow and take an arrow!

call out!
A sharp sound broke through the air.

A gray arrow instantly penetrated the snow curtain and embedded itself directly into the surface of the hard boulder.

"Are these clan warriors too vigilant?"

Looking at the fluttering arrow feathers on the boulder, Huo Jixing's expression was full of helplessness.

Looking across the snowy curtain, he saw the clan warriors standing not far away.

In a world of ice and snow that is almost the same color.

He originally wanted to use the difference in vision and the illusion of the mountain slope to set up an ambush at the corner of the mountain road.

But the clan warriors in front of them seemed to sense something and stopped before approaching the trap.

"It's the Blood Warrior!" Eric's voice sounded at the right time.

Looking at the familiar armor and the face smeared with blood marks, Eric seemed to remember his past experience, and his expression was a little ugly.

"They are veterans of the Winter's Claw tribe and the most elite warriors!"

"The empire has suffered a lot from these guys!"

Huo Jixing no longer hid his figure, stood up from the slope of the mountain, reached out and pulled out the arrow from the boulder.

"The strength is good!"

Looking at the crude arrow in his hand, Huo Jixing set his sights on the blood warrior at the front.

The fur of unknown animals, armor with spikes, and ferocious huge bone blades.

There was also a face smeared with blood and a cold expression.

"A blood warrior from the Winter's Claw tribe?"

Huo Jixing discarded the fur cloak he was wearing and pulled out the slender long knife hanging from his waist.

Eric's strength is very good. Not only is he a Noxian elite, he also has the skill level of a Conquering Blade.

What can make him extremely fearful is enough to show how powerful the blood warrior is.

"For Noxus!"

Huo Jixing roared angrily and jumped down from the slope of the mountain.

The slender long knife in his hand cut through the icy air and pulled out a red-gold flame tie.

"For Noxus!"

Exciting shouts resounded through the mountain road, and Xialuba, Eric and others behind them took steps, followed Huo Jixing, and charged towards the blood warriors below.

But compared to Huo Jixing, who seemed to be running wild, they were much more orderly.

As shield guards, Haig and Tulio held heavy shields at the front to prevent the arrows from falling.

Xaluba and others separated one by one and hid behind the shields.

The deep red composite armor reflected the falling dusk light, like a thunderous running sound, crushing the falling snowflakes in the air.

Fight, start!
